    Compression Testing on MEP 002A/003A

    MEP-002A Fuel Strainer - How Tight?

    I cleaned everything in the fuel path from the tank to the IP. When putting the fuel strainer back in, I couldn't figure out how tight to make the seat (retainer) that holds it in place. Too tight and I might starve the fuel flow. Too loose and I let too much crap and water through. I...

    MEP-002A and -003A WIKI Started

    I just started a WIKI for the 002 and 003 generators. Please give it a look and then come back here to discuss. I know I am missing some things there. I own an 002a so right now it is biased to that model. Being that they are so similar I figured one wiki for both was appropriate. WIKI: MEP...

    vault_title_change_error

    I was trying to setup a Wiki for the MEP 002 & 003. Now when I go to edit it I get this error. Could not find phrase 'vault_title_change_error'. My plan was to put a lot of the information I learned from here and reading the manuals in there. Sort of a formated FAQ. But now I can't change...
